The New Ham and Cheese. Or, Alternately, the New Waffle

In our What People Are Cooking column, see how our recipes turned out in other cooks' kitchens. Every week we choose a dish that several food bloggers made and feature it here with photos and links. Share your own experience; submit your blog.

I Am a Food Blog: "Waffles with savouries is not exactly a revaluation for me and I think waffles go great with sausages or bacon. But it never occurred to me to put meat inside the waffle. You have got to try these golden brown waffles oozing with cheese and studded with ham. The waffle is light and crisp and the added goodness makes it over the top delicious!"

A Zesty Bite: "A lightbulb went off in my head and I thought why haven't I thought of this sooner. I mean it's so incredibly easy and I already had a waffle batter recipe so all I needed was ham and cheese."

The Garden of Eden: "These have the perfect interplay between salty and sweet and, with a little crunchiness on the outside, these waffles are intensely satisfying. I served a little spinach salad on the side, and it was a lovely breakfast-as-dinner meal."

Toddscuttooth: "All you need is your favorite batter, grated cheddar cheese, and torn bits of deli ham... serve these with butter and syrup, I had mine for dinner and paired my Belgian waffle with a Belgian doppelbock by Weihenstephaner, obvious and yummy!"

Pinot & Prose: "These have the perfect interplay between salty and sweet and, with a little crunchiness on the outside, these waffles are intensely satisfying. I served a little spinach salad on the side, and it was a lovely breakfast-as-dinner meal."

Everyone loves ham. Everyone loves cheese. Everyone loves waffles.

As we were saying: ham, cheese, waffles. When thrown together, it's no surprise that they're part of the popular crowd--our March issue Ham-and-Cheese Waffles have been a hit. Singer/songwriter Michelle Branch even tweeted "Um, @bonappetit is trying to kill me with ham and cheese waffles." Apparently we struck a chord with her. (Chord! Get it?) Bloggers also loved the idea and whipped up a few batches of their own. Here's how they turned out. --Matt Ehrlich
